Bursary Program
Do your children or grandchildren need an extra $1,500 for tuition?
They could WIN a bursary from OTIP.
If you’re insured with OTIP and you have a child or grandchild (under the
age of 30) who will be a full-time post-secondary student at a Canadian college
or university for the upcoming academic year, the OTIP Bursary Program is for you!
Applications are now being accepted for the 2010-2011 school year.

- 12 bursaries of $1,500 each are available to be won.

- Six male and six female applicants will be randomly drawn by June 30, 2010, from
all eligible applications received.

proof of age and proof of attendance at a Canadian college or university on a full-time
basis for the upcoming academic year.
- The selected applicants will be asked an arithmetic skill-testing question, which
must be answered correctly.
- Should any of the initially selected applicants either not provide proof of age,
or proof of attendance, not correctly answer the skill-testing question, or have
previously received an OTIP Bursary, they will be deemed ineligible. Should this
occur, another randomly selected applicant will be chosen. This process will continue
until a winner is declared.
